As one of the most successful soccer professionals in the world, it naturally follows that Rich Gorman would write a guide about the sport. Rich Gorman's Guide on How to Play Soccer is a great resource for any coach or team member looking to learn the fundamentals of the game or to improve upon basic skills and techniques. Lots of essential skills are learned early, but sometimes become lost as a player develops his or her own style. Gorman's guide is the perfect tool for players who want to go over the basics and increase the success of their techniques.
"I have written this guide as a resource for all soccer players, new and experienced. The basic, essential techniques and skills of the game are crucial, and many players forget them as they forge their own styles. This could be ruinous to a career, even to the safety of the players. It's important that each and every player both knows and feels comfortable with the basic elements that go into handling a soccer ball, as well as the rules of the game. My guide will walk all players through these crucial elements while reinforcing a love for the sport," said Gorman.
Gorman got his start in the world of soccer as a youngster playing in community games. His parents encouraged his love for the sport and have never stopped rooting for him. They provided him with the very best in the way of training, and he hopes to pass this on to every player that he can reach with his new guide.
The guide breaks down each and every part of the game, from the rules to the techniques, in a way that is easy to understand. The rules are listed and explained, which is an important addition for the young players who constantly question "why?" after receiving a warning from a referee. Techniques are also included and explained, allowing players to be comfortable with their performance without worrying about their safety. Photographs beside each step further enhance the guide and allow players to be sure that they are properly performing the steps.
Personal, individual style is also very important, and Gorman has set aside a whole section of the guide to help players identify their personal playing styles while maintaining high safety standards.
"Yes, showy kicks and flips across the field are exciting," says Gorman, "but they will also land you in the hospital with a torn knee or concussion. No, that will not do. Players need to learn how to safely and creatively get passed the other team, not how to be haphazard and reckless. The section of the guide that is geared toward helping players find their own voices, if you will, encourages them to be creative while keeping in mind the safety of themselves, their teammates, and their opponents. We all want to beat the other team, but not literally."
Rich Gorman's Guide on How to Play Soccer will be available soon. Once the guide is released, Gorman plans to bring copies to teams throughout his community and help children learn the essentials of the game.
